You know despite making so much fun about the "trump is fighting the deepstate and will release the epstein list!!" q-anon/maga, some have not a too dissimilar mindset in the end.

Imagine being this stubborn and fighting this many starwmen.
Yawn. Calling everyone doomer, wrecker and "so called leftist" has lost its punch, especially when it is in the defence of a milquetoast socdem. He is not pro-palestine enough and its the work of the american left movement to direct the working class towards more radical policies, not cater and tail towards the most reactionary elements on the "left side" in the name "electability".
The strategy to turn the dems into a working class party strategy, paraded as the panacea, is dead in the water, hell the corpse has been poising the pond at this point.
I know you apparently have invested a lot of personal time, money and social connections into that man's career. Which not only makes you mentally biased against any criticism, but in the end it also does not absolve mamdani from it, despite the effort you put in.
I get the feeling, I went to university. There were many times, I put a lot effort and time into something and it got graded badly or was considered unexceptional. I was frustrated and angry because all the effort went nowhere, however this did not mean my work was unfairly judged.
Defund was already the sanitized version of ACAB and now that is even too radical.
Truth is rarely appreciated and celebrated.
I remember the whole "revolutionary defeatism" and "russia is an akshually tsarist empire and smol bean uwukraine needs our help!". Memory holing isnt just done by libs, we have that in spades a plenty.
Hell liberal zionism was even something that persisted until the last two years here on "our side".
The difference between Barry Goldwater and leftists, is that Goldwater's politics were not a threat to capital.
the country is a historical outlier.
Not true at all. The same thing happened in Germany with the SPD and Die Linke. And I can assure its the same in other euro countries. In fact the UK should be very poignant to americans, culturally (and materially) its much closer than russia and china.
They really bring fire and brimstone upon rando normie leftists for not having done 20 October revolutions by lunch but coddle and infantilize those with the ability to reach millions and means (monetary or otherwise) to do change. Its so backwards, “accountability” and criticism declines the more able a leftist is to actually do leftist things.
The Bolivarian Revolution was a democratic reformist one, and it permanently cemented an AES state in South America
And it was carried on the backs of an organized mass movement. Which is entirely lacking in the us.
The Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate was literally created just for the maronites on pressure of the west (especially france) with the Règlement Organique. They actually couldnt be a vivable state so they later begged the french to expand their statelet. Similar to Ukraine, Jordan and Austria, its national identity is very bourgeoisie and exists to shield only small oligarchic sects. I guess most of population only bought in as a reaction of the Syrian invasion. (Not to dismiss hezbollah or anything)
